14-inch Touch Ultrabook for mobile professionals

The Lenovo ThinkPad T480/T490 is a 14.0-inch FHD IPS touchscreen ultrabook running Windows 10 Pro. It uses an 8th Gen Intel Core i7-8550U quad-core processor at 1.8GHz with 8MB L2 cache and integrated Intel UHD Graphics 620. This unit ships with 16GB DDR4 memory and a 256GB SSD.

Ports and connectivity for desk or travel

The chassis provides three USB 3.1 ports, one USB-C port, HDMI and an RJ-45 Ethernet jack. Intel dual-band wireless and Bluetooth 4.1 handle cable-free links. A front-facing webcam supports video calls. The 45W or 65W OEM AC adapter is included. No optical drive is fitted.

Suits single-device workers needing touch

Buyers who want a lightweight 14-inch touchscreen with a full set of legacy ports and a quad-core U-series CPU will find this configuration ready for office suites and cloud apps. Users who need discrete graphics, more than 16GB RAM, larger internal storage or a higher-wattage processor should look at something else.

Questions about this item

How long before the Intel Core i7-8550U hits its thermal limit when all four cores run flat out?

The quad-core i7-8550U will throttle once its integrated cooling saturates; sustained all-core loads push the 15 W envelope quickly.

What fan noise and surface temperatures should I expect after hours of continuous work?

Under load the single fan spins audibly and the keyboard deck warms to the touch; idle it is near-silent and cool.

Which dock or port replicator do I need to drive two external monitors plus wired Ethernet?

Use the USB-C 3.1 Gen 1 port with a DisplayPort alt-mode dock; the built-in HDMI and RJ-45 handle the second display and LAN.
